Debian uses the LSB header to order the boot sequence for Dependency
Based Boot. For all intents and purposes runlevels 2-5 are treated the
same unless there are special device considerations. Udev starts and
runs now from rcS.d. without the conflicting instance being called. It
also leaves open the option to revert from Dependency Based Boot.
